      “The hard way” being you not having to articulate any coherent or effective praxis? Your strategy makes no sense for your goals. That kind of dramatic idealism gets innocent people killed, and doesn’t even yield the results you want. Real life isn’t a dystopian YA novel.

        I’m not being idealistic, you are. That’s idealism, it’s just extremely mediocre. You’re suffering from the belief that you can make incremental progress when you can’t. For example, if you’re American, check your rights with regards to family planning. How’s that going?

        The problem is that you’re not radical enough, and the future now can only be radical, there is no more room for “middle of the road” incrementalism.

          “I know you are but what am I?” is neither coherent nor effective praxis.

          Our rights with family planning were demolished because fascists vote, and idealists like you don’t. Why would you think this supports your opinion? We’re suffering from your belief that incremental progress isn’t worth it.

          Why don’t you focus on whether you’re going to choose your childhood friend or the dreamy bad boy in your dystopian revolution fantasy, and leave political discourse to the grownups. Fewer innocent people will die that way.
